“Kong: Skull Island”: It’s been a good year for movie apes. The grim, gobsmacking “War for the Planet of the Apes” is getting some of the summer’s best reviews. And this King Kong revival — following in the giant footsteps of Peter Jackson’s 2005 take — was warmly received. It’s the standard popcorn movie fare — explorers travel to a mysterious island where monsters dwell — with state-of-the-art special effects and recently Oscared Brie Larson as the beauty to Kong’s beast. “A rip-roaring rumble in the jungle,” says Rolling Stone’s Peter Travers.

“The Fate of the Furious”: If the “Fast and Furious” franchise was just about awesome cars, it wouldn’t be any more appealing than “Transformers.” In fact, it’s every bit as much a family drama as the TV hit “This Is Us,” just with secret missions and explosions. Here, the family is ripped apart when Dom (Vin Diesel) leaves his new bride (Michelle Rodriguez) for super scary super hacker Cipher (Charlize Theron). Obviously, this will become an issue of national security.

“Terror in a Texas Town”: The pitch for this curious ’50s Western is both simple and inexplicable — it’s “High Noon” with a harpoon. If you want to know why a Swedish whaler (Sterling Hayden, “Dr. Strangelove’s” fluid-obsessed Gen. Jack D. Ripper) ends up in a showdown against a black-clad gunman with a steel arm in a dusty Texas town, you’ll have to watch, and you should — the black-and-white restoration is fantastic. The director is Joseph H. Lewis (“Gun Crazy”), and the screenplay is by blacklisted writer Dalton Trumbo (“Spartacus”), working under a pen name. (Arrow Films Blu-ray)
